'The Liberator' - Articles and Reviews (post Netflix release) SPOILERS Part 3
More than a month after its release, The Liberator is still generating positive media interest. Here are some more articles and reviews, including a podcast and video version, and tweets (via Alex Kershaw) from one of the original soldiers immortalised in the series. SPOILERS.
Harper Radio: The Liberator: A Review of the Nexflix Miniseries
Animation and war movies seem to be the farthest opposites of movie genres, yet they come together in the Netflix mini-series The Liberator in a unique, fascinating, and unexpectedly complementary way. (SNIP) the true horror the audience feels is inspired by Felix’s reaction to it. This puts a lot, basically the success or failure of the show, on the shoulders of actor Bradley James who portrays Sparks, but James proves he’s well up to the challenge.
James’s performance as Captain Felix Sparks is superb. With a clench of the jaw or a couple of words he vividly portrays the difficulty of his positions-whether it be fighting against the odds to complete impossible tasks or calling for surrender. With such subtly in his performance, the moments where he breaks down over the loss he’s experienced are immensely powerful, not overdone or dramatic-just realistically moving.
Though there are strong performances from the whole cast (Jose Miguel Vasquez as Able Gomez and Martin Seinsmier as Samuel Coldfoot particularly stand out) James’s Sparks is the most consistent face of the show and truly the beating heart of it. (SINP) combined with the unique style of animation and Bradley James’ performance, The Liberator worth the watch.

The things that make us happy: Analysis of the Liberator: animated war miniseries on Netflix (Google translation from Spanish).
Felix Sparks is played by Bradley James , who we can remember for having played a teenage King Arthur in the BBC series Merlin or Giuliano de Medici in The Medici: Lords of Florence .

Lettrici Impertinenti: [Review] THE LIBERATOR - animated miniseries about World War II, based on the book by Alex Kershaw, available on Netflix (Google translation from Italian). Rating: 5
what the product offers us is a solid plot, an excellent script and a truly spectacular implementation. (SNIP) The hired actors are very good and able to render expressiveness well, even if converted into cartoon .(SNIP) Bradley James is very good, despite everything he manages to convey a sublime level of empathy.
To sum up: I have not been passionate about products of this genre for several years, I cannot please myself with products that can be defined as less than perfect. This time, however, I was pleasantly surprised. THE LIBERATOR is exactly the production that was missing, the one that manages to make you feel anger, anguish and a lot of gratitude for being born in a historical period in which certain things can even be seen on TV.
